About 20 people in nursing homes in Stockholm have tested positive for COVID-19 recently.
Inform DN.
– There are four, five nursing homes in at least five different places in the region, says Dr. Stefan Amér to the newspaper.
In September, the danger seemed to have ended in nursing homes in the Stockholm region.
But now new cases have been established, according to DN.
Several people, both residents and staff, have recently been infected with Covid-19.
In total, there are around 20, but there is a risk that the number will increase as not all samples have been analyzed yet.
Maria Rotzén Östlund is an infection control physician in the Stockholm region. She tells DN that she thinks a lot of people want the pandemic to end. Therefore, there is a risk that the recommendations of the Swedish Public Health Agency have been abandoned.
– The trend we saw last week with an increase has continued and we take it seriously. The two meters to maintain as a distance seem to have been reduced during the summer, but it is still two meters that apply, he says.
At the end of the month, March / April, the government introduced a restraining order in all nursing homes in the country.
– At the government meeting yesterday, we decided on a restraining order on all nursing homes in the country, said Deputy Prime Minister Isabella Lövin (MP) at a press conference on March 31.
Now, six months later, the government has decided that the restraining order will cease to apply as of October 1.
– It is now quite possible to have nursing home visits, as long as the advice and rules that come from the authorities are followed, state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell said at a news conference Thursday.
